05/10/2023, 7:11 AMFind it really important to focus the majority of the qualification call focusing on what’s in it for the engineer. Cool technical challenges, growth plans, the personalities of the colleagues you will be working with, how the specific projects fit in with company goals.I totally agree! I add some feedback too 1. I appreciate if the company links to glassdoor 2. If they don’t do that (like for @Louise Ogilvy’s example) link it anyway! And explain why there are negative reviews there! Transparency IMO is way better compared to pretend that glassdoor does not exist 3. If glassdoor contains negative feedback about the interview process… mention at least that you are trying to improve it! Or that you are aware of the things you need to improve but you have other priorities right now 🙂 4. I do not need testimonials (I agree they could be forced), I only need a “long” chapter about the internal culture (or a link to the culture page since a lot of companies have one) 5. I totally agree with what @Randy Clinton said 6. I’d like to find info about the current runway of the startup of if it’s profitable or not 7. I’d like to know precisely about the remote culture (a lot of companies do not mention the remote option even if they work remotely and/or they report “Remote in US” then you find out in the first interview that everyone is truly distributed) and overlap requirements 8. I prefer to read a lot about the technical choices and frameworks and even links to the engineering blog. For example, I saved this JD because it’s one of the best I have ever found https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UvimvW86-v6ogH-M6icGmC1Uhq4fgD2K/view?usp=sharing
